Connect the FortiGate unit to a power outlet and to the internal and external networks.

Before beginning to configure the FortiGate unit, you need to plan how to integrate the unit into your network. Your configuration plan depends on the operating mode you select: NAT/Route mode (the default) or Transparent mode.

NAT/Route modeIn NAT/Route mode, each FortiGate unit is visible to the network that it is connected to. All of its interfaces are on different subnets. Each interface that is connected to a network must be

configured with an IP address that is valid for that network.You would typically use NAT/Route mode when the FortiGate unit is deployed as a gateway between pri-vate and public networks. In its default NAT/Route mode configuration, the unit functions as a firewall. Firewall policies control communications through the FortiGate unit. No traffic can pass through

the FortiGate unit until you add firewall policies. In NAT/Route mode, firewall policies can operate in NAT mode or in Route mode. In NAT mode, the FortiGate unit performs network address translation before IP packets are sent to the destination network. In Route mode, no translation takes place.

Transparent modeIn Transparent mode, the FortiGate unit is invisible to the network. All of its interfaces are on the same subnet. You only have to configure a management IP address so that you can make

configuration changes. You would typically use the FortiGate unit in Transparent mode on a private network behind an existing firewall or behind a router. In its default Transparent mode configura-tion, the unit functions as a firewall. No traffic can pass through the FortiGate unit until you add firewall policies.

You can connect up to four network segments to the FortiGate unit to control traffic between these network segments.

Quick configuration using the default settingsYou can quickly set up your FortiGate unit for a home or small office using the web-based manager and the default settings in NAT/Route mode.All you need to do is set your network computers to use DHCP, access the web-based manager, and configure the required settings for the external interface. You can also configure DNS and a default route if needed. The FortiGate unit automatically assigns IP addresses for up to 100 computers in the internal network.

Connect the FortiGate unit to the network.Set the all the network computers to use DHCP to automatically obtain an IP address.

The FortiGate internal interface acts as a DHCP server for the internal network and assigns IP addresses to all computers in the range 192.168.1.110 –192.168.1.210.

From the management computer browse to https://192.168.1.99. The FortiGate web-based manager appears.Go to System > Network > Interface and select Edit for the External interface.
